AND MUSLIM ARGUMENT ON THE GODHEAD OF CHRIST 6.1 Jesus the Literal Son of God 6.2 Jesus Addressing God as “Father” 6.8 The Word Created Everything 6.9 Thomas Addressed Jesus as “My Lord and My God” |
6. 4 Jesus received Worship?
Josh McDowell & Bart Larson states: “After Jesus healed a man the person exclaimed, “Lord I believe! And he worship Him” (John 9:38)…another time the disciples, seeing Jesus after the resurrection, “came up and took hold of His feet and worshipped him” (Matthew 28:9). Thus, before and after the resurrection, Jesus received worship.”[1] Muslim Answer: Dr. Gary Miller: “It says in the Bible that a man came to Jesus one day and he worshipped him (Matthew 28:9, NLT). If you look literally[2] in the Greek, the word literally mean “he blew him a kiss”. Now, people had done that to me, I don’t like it, but I didn’t think they were worshipping me like I was a God (audience laughter). It was just what was said. What I’m getting at here is that, I believe it’s the second chapter of Daniel: “Then King Nebuchadnezzar bowed to the ground before Daniel and worshipped him…” (2:46, NLT) You point to that and say doesn’t worship here sound more just kind of a salute? Or he nodded his head toward him or shook his hand or something like that? But they have left alone a verse (Matthew 28:9) that say a man came to Jesus and He worshipped him.”[3] |
